After all these years, tonight the manifold heater starts leaking. There is a small hole just under the fuel inlet. Fuel just streaming out of there. I have never used the manifold heater, should I just bypass it? Do you just plug the inlet tube. Looks like just a 1/4 npt plug? Give me...

Our 1983 M931 with the NHC250 has been a reliable beast since we brought her home from the National Guard Amory in Santa Fe, NM in 2012. Last summer she started running a little rough and getting tough to start. She sits for months at a time as her primary job is to pull our boats and RV's...

Hey guys! Haven't been around in a while, mostly because everything has been running great and have been able to take care of what ever the big truck has needed but having a problem I'm hoping I can get some ideas. Basically the idle drops down, sometimes to almost a stall. Starts up fine...

I have been searching and reading all day and have come to the conclusion that we will replace the Brake Chamber instead of trying to cage the spring brake and replace the diaphragm. I have seen so many other threads come to that conclusion and I have seen many people say go to Napa, they carry...

The Chamber of Commerce at Elephant Butte has invited us MV Owners to participate in the Annual Luminaria Tour December 8th. They have booted out the RV'ers and are giving us the lower parking lot to gather our trucks. We will have access to a fire pit for a big bon fire. Bring firewood...

Any one seen one of these before? I know its not military, but I was driving down the street from our shop this morning and saw it. Pretty impressive. Don't know much about it, just looked cool so I though I would show.

Looked like a really nice truck. Recent rebuild only had like 38 hours on it. Did you see how much it went for? Wow!

Not exactly sure how to title this thread. I have done a ton of reading now in the TM's about the Air System and its parts and operation. I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around the whole thing and how all the components fit in. I am hoping someone with a working knowledge of...

Finally hitched up my 5th wheel rv to the 931. Had some problems getting the handle lever to lock in after the jaws had closed around the pin. There is a lever in the mechanism that is controlled by a spring and it should be pushed out of the way when the jaws close in order for the handle...

I spent two hours at the state run Motor Vehicle department on Monday of this week. I received my SF97 paper work on Friday so with that in hand a plopped myself down an waited in line. Two hours later I walked out with absolutely nothing accomplished. The old guy who went out to do my VIN...

Just did the axle seal on the 931 and while we had it disassembled that far figured we would go ahead with a non-zipper boot replacement. Got the four nuts off the top of the king pin plate but could not get the plate off so the housing could be removed. I have searched TM 2320 272 24 1...

Well she wasn't the prettiest lady on the lot, but I am so impressed with the mechanical condition of the M931 we just picked up yesterday in Santa Fe. The GL guy, Gary, couldn't have been nicer. Was waiting for us when we arrived, prepared to jump start for us. Walked us through a few...

I was the successful bidder on a M931 yesterday! I'm so excited. Purchased a M48 (built from M35) from a member here back in May of this year. Great truck, drove it down from Utah to NM, sadly the 2-1/2 ton has its limitations in the deep sand. So we decided to look at a 5 ton and a few come...

Is there any way to tell what was done to the truck from the service tag on the drivers seat? Mine has a tag dated 1989 but it would be nice to know what was done and where the service was performed. Just trying to find out more about the truck if I can.

I have been here for a few months now and with all your help I am now the proud owner of a 1966 Kaiser Jeep M35A2. This is an awesome conversion to a tractor. Drove it back to Albuquerque 630 miles without any issues. We use it to tow our fifth wheels down in the sand to lake side at our...

My very first post. I'm so excited I can't hardly breath today. I am looking at a M109A2 this afternoon in my local area. I don't know yet if it is the 427 or 465. No winch, non-turbo. The owner says he has had it about 6 years and he bought it from the person who purchased it at auction...
